I am not going crazy !

hey there all

Now most of you know me as an adventurous spirit, and this shouldn't come as a shock to you all, I am not going crazy, but I have decided I  want a vacation in ........Alaska !


Yes that right, I know its cold!, but apparently the views of nature are amazing, the tranquillity is awesome .

Travellers regularly say that one of the most interesting things about visiting Alaska is the opportunity to see dramatic nature - glaciers calving into the sea, breaching whales, and magnificent brown bears fishing in salmon-choked rivers.

And yes, you can see and do all that in comfort ... as the Diva that I am there has to be luxury in the wilderness !


Who wants to join me ?


Until da next tyme! 

Britains Recession...ls it over ?

Hey there peeps,

Early this week, the UK Prime minister informed the country that the Recession is over ........

So the recession is officially over. After six straight quarters of negative growth, or 18 gloomy months of seeing our national output wither and contract, the economy has finally started to rise again.

Well a big fat genuine hooray for that.

But before you start pinning up the bunting, dancing in the streets and erecting statues to our glorious leader Gordon Brown, let's take a closer look at what this actually means.

While the recession officially ended in the final quarter of 2009, it was a close run thing. The economy grew a pale and poxy 0.1% against the bright and rosy 0.4% anticipated by most economists. And that's despite the Bank of England slicing the base rate almost to zero and printing £200 billion in a bid to move things along.


Only 40% of the data is in, so that 0.1% could be revised upwards in the months to come. Alternatively, it could be revised downwards, which would mean the recession isn't actually over at all, and we'll have even more to grumble about.
The recession may be over, but the economy is still much smaller than it used to be. Output has shrunk a mighty 6% since the credit crunch, so that 0.1% is just a spit in the ocean of loss.


And that is bad news for you and me. It means finding a job will still be hard. Wage rises will be flat or non-existent. Consumers will remain cautious. Mortgage lenders will keep LTVs low and SVRs high. Anybody with a bruised credit record will find it difficult to access finance. Happy days aren't here again.

Until banks regain their appetite for lending, businesses will struggle to find affordable finance, further constraining economic growth.

Even if the recession is over, it won't necessarily feel like it.


Until da next Tyme !

Apple Ipad !!!

Ok I am gadget queen like most people.... but can someome please tell me what is with Apple and the iPad!

Serioulsy, what possible reason was there to launch it ? what will it do that the Iphone or a netbook doesnt already do?
Its is being linked an an ereader, where you can download, books and newspapers to read in your own time, but is that enough to justify the expense ?

So far there is mixed reaction in recieving this ... and I applaud Apple in their World domination project, but this one might not be the way to go......

The basics
So what is it? It's described as a "third category device" that fills the gap between laptops and smartphones. And if you thought that netbooks filled that role, apparently you need to think again - "they're just cheap laptops", apparently, whereas the iPad promises a significantly enhanced digital experience.


The device itself is perhaps best described as a hybrid tablet computer. Tablet PCs - keyboard and mouse-free devices - have been in circulation for several months now but have been blighted by poor connection capability and are devised largely as data-entry devices for work.

The iPad, by contrast, offers almost everything you would want from leisure computing, from browsing emails and the internet, watching video, playing games and more besides. It's small too - the device is just 0.5 inches thick and boasts a 9.7-inch touchpad display screen that works much like an iPhone. It might not fit in your pocket but, at just 1.5 pounds, it'll slip easily into a handbag or rucksack.

Apple claims it has a battery life of 10 hours - impressive considering its powerful screen - and the device is powered by a comparatively modest 1GZ processor. Memory capacity ranges from 16-64 GB depending on the model you choose and the device comes with iTunes software and Apple's Safari web-browser built-in - the device runs on both Wi-Fi and 3G networks.

Cost
UK prices hasnt been revealed as yet, but in the US it is been marketed at $499 that being the cheapest model at 16GB with the more powerful model 64GB with 3G compatibilty ( which is not standard) so expect to pay a little more once it crosses the Atlantic, plus there will be a charge to download content - currently at $29.99 unlimited plan.

Is it really worth it ???

Until da next Tyme

3D Viewing

hello y'all.

Well its finally here !!!! 3DTV veiwing ..... whoo !

From animated films like Up and Coraline, to James Cameron's year-ending blockbuster Avatar, 3D films were a big money-spinner for Hollywood in 2009 - and 2010 could be the year that the 3D revolution shifts to the small screen. Sky announced in the summer that they will launch the UK's first 3D TV channel this weekend , which will require a new generation of '3D-ready' televisions - which are also expected to widely available next year.


Korean manufacturer LG are heavily targeting the 3D TV market - they claim they expect to sell 400,000 of them in 2010 - while Sony, Samsung and Panasonic are also betting that 3D will be the next big thing in the television world. As a potential boost the 3Ds aspirations, a deal between Sony and FIFA means that some matches at the 2010 World Cup will be filmed in 3D…

Until da next tyme!

Men Having babies !!!

Hey peeps,

Ok I know the title is a shocker...... but believe me its happening!

Now I have always said that the day that men could have children, I would be the first one queing to get a man pregnant......well this may not happen in my lifetime the natural way, but genetically its happening.... read on !

Personally as long as that child doesnt have identity issues, and is well looked after , I dont care..... society has so much more other issues to deal with that this. It has been proven that even children raised in middle homes with 2 hetrosexuals , are committing mass masacres... Columbine just to name an example.... so let them be !

It is a classic tale we’ve all heard before. Girl has sex-change therapy to turn into boy. Boy meets girl. Girl has partial sex-change therapy. Boy retains girl reproductive organs. Boy and boy fall in love and get married. Boy falls pregnant.

OK, maybe it’s not exactly the everyday story of romance we’re used to. But Scott and Thomas Moore are desperately hoping this fairytale will have a happy ending.

Scott Moore, the world’s second-ever pregnant man, is due to give birth next month.
‘We know some people will criticise us but we are blissfully happy and not ashamed,’ he said.
Scott, born Jessica, started taking male hormones and had his 36E chest removed when he was 16.
‘I was always a tomboy but when I started to develop breasts I realised I’d been born in the wrong body,’ he said.


‘I opted not to have a penis because I couldn’t afford it – not because I wanted children.’

The former tutor of autistic youngsters said: ‘We were watching a movie and I just blurted out: “I want a baby”. Fortunately, Thomas felt the same.’

His transgender husband, Thomas, born Laura, found a friend to act as a sperm donor – and used a syringe to deliver it inside Scott twice a month. It took four months before tests gave a positive result.

Doctors advised Scott to have an abortion and the couple, both 30, faced difficulties finding medics who would accept their unconventional circumstances.

It was hard when people didn’t want to treat me,’ said Scott."No pregnant person should be denied healthcare just because they are a man.’

The couple, from northern California, formally adopted Gregg, 12, and Logan, ten, Thomas’ children from a previous relationship.

And the third will also be a boy – named Miles.‘We’ve been through the teasing already,’ said Thomas.
‘Logan was bullied but now he just says: “You may have a problem with my two dads – but I don’t, so you’re not hurting me.”’

Wow, what would you do if your sone came and said he wanted to have a baby? Hit me with your comments

Until da next Tyme !

7 Year old Fundraiser!!!

Dear all,

Haiti has been dominating the news for the last few weeks, and I like many of you have felt the pain and saw the distress that thousands have suffered and even more have died, due to their natural disaster.

Whilst, many has done their own little bit to donate and help the Hiatians in trying to recover some semblance of normality, this story touched me as a pure selfless act by a young boy .

Seven-year-old Charlie Simpson was so upset by the images of Haiti's deadly earthquake that he asked his mother if she could help him set up a sponsored bicycle ride around a west London park.

Charlie originally hoped to raise 500 pounds for UNICEF's Haiti appeal with Sunday's 5-mile (8-kilometer) bike ride, but his Internet page was flooded with donations.

He raised nearly 50,000 pounds in a single day. Charlie's story was splashed on the front page of Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper on Monday, and money is still flooding in.

"I want to make some money to buy food, water and tents for everyone in Haiti," he said on his fundraising Web site.

The effort drew the attention of Prime Minister Gordon Brown, with his office Downing Street posting on Twitter: "Amazed by response to the great fundraising efforts of 7 yr old."

The boy's mother Leonora Simpson said she was amazed by the response. "We put it on the Web and that was it, it suddenly took off and we can't believe it," she said.

Until Da next tyme !

Diabetes.......

Hi there people,

Over the last few weeks my blog has been more on a educational tip as well sharing my everyday thoughts.

Well I wanted to share my thoughts on this topic too, Diabetes!

As a diabetic, I am constantly aware now, of what my body has to endure and how my life path/ choices  has brought me to be a sufferer of one the most deablitating sickness that is now plaguing our society today.

What is Diabetes?

Diabetes is a common life-long condition where the amount of glucose in the blood is too high as the body cannot use it properly. This is because the pancreas does not produce any or not enough insulin or the insulin that is produced doesn’t work properly (known as insulin resistance).

Insulin helps glucose enter the body’s cells, where it is used for energy. Glucose comes from digesting carbohydrate from various kinds of food and drink, including starchy foods such as breads, rice and potatoes, fruit, some dairy products, sugar and other sweet foods. Glucose is also produced by the liver.


There are two types of Diabetes, type 1 and type 2

The classic signs and symptoms of undiagnosed  type 1 or uncontrolled diabetes are:


High blood glucose levels (hyperglycaemia)
Excessive urination (polyuria)
Excessive thirst (polydipsia)
Weight loss
Tiredness
 
The main features and symptoms of type 2 diabetes are:


Overweight
Excessive thirst
Excessive urination
Loss of weight
 
Type 2 diabetes is the most common variety of diabetes. It is a disorder of carbohydrate metabolism in which the body effectively becomes resistant to the hormone insulin.


Initially, the person with this disorder has impaired tolerance to glucose. This develops into high blood glucose levels after eating and eventually high blood glucose levels even when fasting.

Diabetes UK has information on the symptoms, coping with Diabetes, how to help etc, check the site as you may be able to save the life of a loved one, who may not be aware that they have the disease.

One of my other little haven!

Hey Peeps,

Each year many of my friends make promises to themselves that they will spend more time pampering their mind and bodies, and even with good intentions they sometimes fail.

Well this should be an everyday thing as we are all special, not just on significant occasions.

With that in mind I wanted to share a secret with you all. I had the pleasure of visiting a wonderful Yoga Retreat last November...

Now Yoga may not be for all and trust me I still havent gotten my head around it, and I am still trying to master the moves.... which may take a while :)

However even if I don't practice yoga, the surroundings and tranquility of this little minitaure haven is enough for me to want to visit time and time again .

 Welcome to the Island of Ibiza, welcome to Atzaro!

From the rows of orange trees, swans/ ducks swimming in the lakes, wooden sunbeds, private alcoves, picturesque gardens its like stepping into your own private sanctuary.

The staff are very discreet amd you never realise they are there, unless you need something and then they just appear........ that is what I call heaven!

This Retreat will be running over the next few months and it is a place to go to recoup from daily life stresses, relax, meditate and generally pamper yourself, one of the teachers Jacqueline is a pleasure  to work with , and for someone like me that doesn't understand yoga, her patience is amazing, but then I was happy just to sit back on my lounger and be enveloped by the atmosphere and the tranquility from the orange orchard :)

See you all there

Until da next tyme!

So what is the big deal about Masturbation!!

Hi there peeps,

So I wanted to touch base on this topic as there is so much stigma in regartds to it.

So what is it about this topic that freaks people out? Why is it the topic of so many jokes, locker room and otherwise, and why is it guaranteed to get a giggle out of the audience in cinemas and theatres?


Masturbation has received rather bad press over the centuries. It’s still one of the conversational taboos in our society, and has been viewed as sinful and bad in many religions. Many teenagers, who masturbate frequently to get rid of pent up sexual frustrations have been wracked with guilt - and all for nothing.

But religion isn’t the only thing to give masturbation a bad rap. All the scare stories dished out, often by older family members, warning about horrors such as getting hairy hands, going blind, getting permanent erections (in the case of boys), going insane and so forth, only underline their discomfort with sexuality in general and the emerging sexuality of a child or sibling. None of these stories have a smattering of truth in them.

So what’s the lowdown on masturbation?

Masturbation is a normal and healthy part of sexual development and both girls and boys masturbate.

Don’t believe any of the scare stories. You will not go blind, insane, turn into a pervert or get a sexually transmitted disease if you masturbate. You will also not become sterile or get pregnant. Masturbation is not evil, dirty or harmful. So chill out.

Masturbation is personal and private and should not be done in public places or around people who are not willing participants. Group masturbation is quite common, especially among teenage boys.
Masturbation does alleviate stress and releases endorphins (pleasure hormones) into your system, making you feel a lot more relaxed.

One of the good things about masturbation is that it brings sexual relief without any of the dangers of having real sex, such as unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases.

Both masturbating and not masturbating is normal. Don’t worry if you do and don’t worry if you don’t.
Masturbation is a good way of finding out what pleases you sexually. For this reason, it sometimes makes later sexual relationships easier.

Fluctuating hormones make masturbation more likely during the teens. Masturbation relieves the strain of this, as few people have regular sex partners at such as young age.

Masturbation is a way of exploring the body and even young children do it, innocently until society lays a stigma to it!

Sometimes guilt induced as a result of masturbation can cause psychological problems. But the only real problem with it, is when people masturbate in public and do not heed the privacy rules attached to this practice.
 
So go on explore and Mastubate !
 
Until da next Tyme !

Irritating things women do !

Hey peeps,

Last week I promised the men I would hook them up, judging from the repsonse I recieved and ideas, this list was formed .......

This article might also go a long way towards explaining why one woman who is a Plain Jane has a whirling social life and another who is a knockout watches TV every Saturday night – on her own.

Moaning Minnie. No man feels like getting involved with someone who constantly moans about everything – from the weather to the movie to the driving of other motorists. It's hard enough to stay positive, but with such a negative barrage coming from your date for the evening, you might as well have stayed home. It would have been more cheerful anyway.

Bodily insecurity. Call it the fault of the media, or whatever, but most women don't feel happy with their bodies. Constant insecurity about how she's looking can be really trying for any guy. And make the giving of any compliments a veritable minefield. Point is, unless there is something really noticeable, like 30 kg that weren't there last year, men just don't notice.

Gold digger. Most men, if they get the feeling that their date is more interested in their bank balance than in them, would not make a second date. This is the twenty-first century and women should be able to look after themselves and not merely hang around waiting for someone else to turn up who'll pay the bills.

Mood swings. Everyone has days on which they don't feel like a barrel of laughs, but if someone goes all silent on you for hours or days without being prepared to tell you why, this can be a real turnoff. And all of this because you can't read her mind. (If you could, you'd be set up somewhere wearing beads in a caravan and making a fortune.) Imagine if you hit any real problems – what would she do if this is the way she reacts because she feels miffed by your choice of movie?

No other interests. If a woman cannot get excited about any other interests, sports or hobbies, but is purely fixated on the relationship or getting a new boyfriend, it can get very tedious.

Waiting for a knight on a white horse. This is the twenty-first century and the time is over where women could sit back and wait for someone to come and make everything alright. Many men are also loathe to take on full responsibility for someone else's existence – the new thing is a fifty-fifty partnership.

Fashion slaves. "Fashion is something so hideous that it has to change every six months", according to Oscar Wilde. Most men are not very fashion-conscious and prefer a sort of middle-of –the road style of dress for themselves and for the women they date. Someone who won't go anywhere without makeup or unless she's dolled up to the nines in the latest fashion is downright tedious. Most often the girl-next-door look is just fine.

Talking about exes. Unless a woman is actually on her first date ever, she's sure to have some story to tell about an ex. She shouldn't. Men do not like hearing endless tales in which exes get trashed. They do not want to hear about exes. Point blank. If a woman talks about an ex-boyfriend all evening, she's obviously not over him yet.

Control freak. Most dates/relationships require a certain amount of compromise. But a man does not like it if he's always the one having to compromise. Neither does a woman, for that matter. But if someone's behaviour is controlling from the start, maybe a second date is not such a good idea. The real issue here is never which movie or which restaurant, but who is in control here. Who feels like a lifelong battle for supremacy?

Voice volley. This is probably unfair, because people cannot always choose their tone of voice. But a voice that is high-pitched and drones on and on like a chainsaw would make most men think twice about a second date. The Nanny was funny, but could you listen to that voice if you had a hangover?

Until da Next Tyme!

Outer Space SkyDiving

Happy Sunday People!,

Now for those that know me, ...... y'all kmow that i am a bit of an Adrenalin junkie, and tihs is something that I even I would hesitate in doing, but i am intrigued ........

The Austrian extreme sportsman Felix Baumgartner says his next goal is to try to break the long-standing record for the highest ever parachute jump.


It is 50 years since the American Joe Kittinger made history by leaping from a balloon at 102,800ft (31km).

Many have sought to repeat the feat down the decades but all have failed.

Baumgartner, who is famous for stunts such as jumping off the Petronas Towers, aims to skydive from a balloon sent to at least 120,000 ft (37km).

It is likely that in his long freefall of more than five minutes, he will exceed the speed of sound - the first person to do so without the aid of a machine.

"No-one really knows what that will be like," he said.

"The fact is you have a lot of different airflows coming around your body; and some parts of your body are in supersonic flow and some parts are in transonic flow. What kind of reaction that creates, I can't tell you,"

Baumgartner has an eye on the benefits he believes can accrue to space exploration, making it possible to bring astronauts back to Earth alive if their vehicle malfunctions.

A BBC/National Geographic Channel documentary is being made about Baumgartner's project. The 90-minute film will be transmitted on BBC Two in the UK shortly after the jump.


Good Luck!

Until da next Tyme!

Who Loves the dentist?

Hey peeps,

If like me, you dread and fear the dentist chair, this maybe good news for you, I was reading the following article and thought it would be good to share .

A futuristic "plasma jet" that eradicates tooth decay without fillings could be replacing the hated dentist's drill in as little as three years, it was claimed. Skip related content


The space-age device fires a beam of electrically-charged oxygen atoms into tooth cavities to obliterate decay-causing bacteria.

Traditionally, the same job is done by drilling holes into the tooth that has to be filled.

Unlike the dentist's drill, the plasma jet is non-invasive and pain-free.

Fear of fillings is a genuine phobia for some people, causing them to avoid visits to the dentist.

A new study has shown that firing low-temperature plasma beams at dentine - the fibrous tooth structure below the enamel - can reduce bacteria levels by up to 10,000 times.

Researchers in Germany tested the effectiveness of the plasma jet against common dental bugs including Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus casei.

Both form films on the surface of teeth and are responsible for the erosion of tooth enamel and dentine that causes cavities.

The scientists infected dentine from extracted human molars with four strains of bacteria and exposed it to plasma for between six and 18 seconds. The longer the treatment continued, the greater the amount of bacteria that was eliminated.

Lead researcher Dr Stefan Rupf, from Saarland University in Homburg, said: "The low temperature means they can kill the microbes while preserving the tooth. The dental pulp at the centre of the tooth, underneath the dentine, is linked to the blood supply and nerves and heat damage to it must be avoided at all costs."

Keep Smiling !

Things women wish you knew !

Hey peeps,

This is for all you guys....... I am gonna take it there dont be embarassed, its natural, ladies hold tight ......

Lets be real, women are different to men – you may already have noticed. So it’s predictable that some of the things blokes do in bed will drive women wild, while others might just irk them a bit. Here are a few, and what you can do about them.

Hygiene

Even if you believe your trouser furniture is clean, a shower before bed never hurt anyone. She might even get into hot water with you. Being clean is a basic courtesy, whether you’ve spent the day by the pool or mopping out the lion’s cage. Don’t make a big ceremony of it. Just say, “I’m going to have a shower before bed,” or ad lib it. The same goes for your hands and any other part of you that you plan to put inside her. Clean hands and immaculately trimmed and scrubbed nails are mandatory.

Trying to be a stud

Women can be very sensitive about this: Mr Lover Man goes through his whole seduction routine, stimulating her squishy bits and coaxing her toward an almighty orgasm. Yet she gets the feeling he’s making love to A Woman, rather than to her. Try focusing on her. Calling her by her name is good, especially if you pronounce it correctly.

Foreplay starts with the clothes on

Warming up to a sweaty, naked encounter can start hours, even days beforehand and actually being considerate and nice can pay dividends. Some blokes can pull off the whole smouldering, bad-guy image, but a lot of the time they end up glowering, Healthcliffe-like, at themselves in the mirror of some bar. The bottom line: don’t stand her up for lunch and then expect to arrive at her place and be greeted by a seductress in something lacy.

Hitting the same bases

Beware of slipping into a schedule: kiss, breasts, kiss some more, penetration. Once a women feels you’ve fallen into a habit, the thermostat goes off. Remind yourself of all the other nerve endings in splendid array around her body. Even slender girls have plenty of skin and all of it has really useful nerve endings.

Keeping quiet

Even if you’re not the most articulate of men when you’re in the sack, try to at least emit the occasional appreciative sound. And if she urges you to talk to her during those intimate moments, you’d better learn to.

Being too rough

We’ll put it down to enthusiasm, but no woman likes to have her breasts twisted off or her vagina prodded with claw-like fingers. You’re dealing with soft, pliable tissue here. Go softly. If you’re doing it correctly, you’ll know, and if she wants more pressure or roughness she’ll probably tell you.

Finishing too soon

For some men this becomes a dreaded habit that warrants therapy. For most, it can be fixed with a little self-help. Masturbate until you’re about to have an orgasm, then stop. Repeat this several times before finishing off. Regularly working at this will help to delay your reaction and you ought to be able to control it better. Until you get that right you can rely on the rest of your formidable arsenal of stimulation to provide your partner with all sorts of pleasure. You can give her an orgasm with cunnilingus or your fingers, or take her up to the very brink before introducing your penis.

Lasting too long

Some men would give a kidney to have this problem, but it can be very little fun for women who just wish the guy would finish up. For some men, this is a result of plenty of frenzied, hurried masturbation, which has left the penis desensitised. It can be cured by leaving the member alone for a few weeks. With no masturbation, there’ll be some return of sensitivity. After that you should masturbate gently, or by using only your fingertips, not squeezing like you’re trying to throttle a python.


Until da next tyme !

Relationship Over?

Hey peeps

Things are generally a lot easier to get into than out of. Most people, at some time in their lives find themselves in a relationship that is basically over.

We hang on, because it is not quite uncomfortable enough to warrant the upheaval of a breakup, but we know that the end is inevitable.

No one likes a drama, though, so if your partner is faintly tolerable, many people hang in there out of pure habit.

If more than five of the following things are applicable to you and your partner, maybe it is time for you to bail out:

Who's that? Your partner starts to go out constantly with new friends that you don’t know. New and unfamiliar names crop up in conversations.

Future imperfect. He starts talking about the future in ways that obviously do not include you – babies and Himalayan expeditions do not go hand-in-hand.

Sorry, sorry, sorry. You find yourself constantly apologising for things which are not your fault, just to keep the peace.

Just us? The two of you are no longer able to do nothing together. The thought of a long weekend away in the mountains with just the two of you, where there are no distractions, makes you come up in hives.

Didn't I tell you? Your partner confides in other people rather than in you. They know about the drama at work, or the financial crisis, before you do.

Beds are for sleeping in. You don’t really respond on a sexual level to your partner, although you find other people sexually attractive.

Strictly business. If your partner had to go on a business trip on your birthday, you would not be entirely devastated. You can think of quite a number of fun ways of spending the day - or the evening.

Safety in numbers. You prefer to socialise with larger groups of people rather than being alone with your partner.

Women only. You start taking part in activities that obviously exclude your partner, such as a women’s writing group or a men’s fitness group.

A 'space' cadet? The word ‘space’ starts creeping into your conversations. No couple can do everything together, but wanting space all the time means it's time to pack those bags.

Out with the ex. You find out that your partner went out with an ex-girlfriend and it does not upset you at all. In fact, you find yourself oddly hopeful. In fact, your exes are starting to look more and more attractive.

That's not right Your partner criticises or corrects you in front of others (Should you be eating that with all the weight you’ve picked up?)

Not that again. You no longer find your partner’s jokes funny and you jump each other’s punchlines. You feel as if you could commit murder if you heard the story about her grandmother's poodle one more time.

What was that again? You forget anniversaries and other details about your relationship, such as where exactly you met, where you went on a first date and so forth.

Marooned? If you had to choose a person with whom to spend a week on a deserted island, you are not sure it would be your partner.

Bad gifts. You don’t give any thought to buying the right present for your partner for birthdays or Christmas. Even worse, you send someone else, such as a secretary, to buy the gift.

Guns blazing. Your choice of movies swings from romantic to movies concerned with violent retribution. No more 'Sleepless in Seattle' - you now take out 'The Punisher' or 'American Psycho'.

Who's jealous? You feel consumed by jealousy when you see your old boyfriend with his new wife. And she's pregnant, to top it all.

Going, going. You start making mental notes about how the furniture and the friends could be divided. And where you could go if you had to move. And how you could afford it.

Analyse and handle!

Love Odds- The complex equation!

Hey y'all

This one goes out to all the londoners.....I read this article and had to share it .....

 Romance may happen every day, but finding true love in London is as rare as aliens in the galaxy, says one London-based economist.


Peter Backus, a teaching fellow of economics at the University of Warwick, has calculated that he has a 0.00034% chance of finding love in the British capital using the same Drake equation scientists use to determine the potential number of extra-terrestrials in our galaxy.

American astronomer and astrophysicist Frank Drake devised his namesake equation in the early 1960s.

The 31-year-old Backus - who lives on a narrow boat in central London - is not even that particular about his ideal match, requiring only that she be a London-based female, aged 24-34, with a university education.

"I am not trying to be an elitist or anything," he said about his educational requirements. "Everyone has preferences. I just think we would have more in common."

Further reducing his chances, he has estimated he would be physically attracted to just 5% of the women meeting all these criteria.

This means there are about 10 500 women in Britain who tick all the boxes for Backus, he said - just above the 10 000 potential communicative civilisations that could exist in the Milky Way according to the Drake equation.

So just 0.14% of Londoners and 0.017% of the British population meet Backus's own requirements, he said.

But a relationship takes two.

If this economist's dream women are equally as fussy as he is, his chances of finding someone who will return his affections plummets to just 0.00034%, he said.

"There are 26 women in the UK with whom I might have a wonderful relationship. So, on a given night out in London there is a 0.00034% chance of meeting one of these special people," he said.

"That's a 1 in 285 000 chance. Not great."

But love can still defy the odds right on your doorstep. Since writing his paper on the equations of finding love, Backus has started dating his neighbour Rose. She meets his age requirement, has a university degree and also lives on a boat.

Bless him!

Until da next tyme !

Share a Thought

Hi Peeps,

Whassup ?

A friend send this to me and I wanted to share it with you all, as I found it very moving !

2010 should be the year where we are take responsibilty for our actions  ans stop making excuses !

Honesty with ourselves is a great asset in every situation we confront. The skill to look reality square in the face and call it what it is takes us a good distance toward coping with it. However, many of us also have the skill to spin or rationalize our actions so that we don't have to face something unpleasant. That skill provides us with excuses and evasions but it is the greatest betrayal of our selves. When we use our brain to cleverly cover the truth of our actions, we often believe our own lies, and then we're incapable of rectifying them.


Just as dishonesty builds and grows on itself, so does honesty. We cannot one day decide to be honest and change in a flash because we don't see all of our self-deceit yet. But we can make the decision to be as honest as we know how. Then we will soon be surprised by how much is revealed to us as the fog of our self-deceit lifts and our honesty builds upon itself.


Today I will strive to see reality as it is and not shape it to suit my ego's desires.
 
Until da next tyme!
 

Reality..... TV or Life!

So I am back in the UK and whilst nursing a headache I decided to catch up on my tv viewing last night  as for the last 4 weeks, I have been surviving without Sky..... and even worse no Sky + ( TIVO ) .

So I was excited to see what the UK had to offer or what I have missed during my absence.......

So why is my TV more like a reality show, every single channel you turn to there is a reality show that the programmers feels that we must watch!

When did the UK became like the US?
When did the lives of others intrigued us so much that we would spend our entire day or waking moment  watching the antics of others?

Ok dont get me wrong , I am fond of some reality shows and I do follow one particular religiously- ANTM, but I  like the choice of choosing when I watch this programme rather that it forced at me.

But to switch on my TV and see shows about other peoples who put their lives on TV or subject themselves for their 15 minutes of fame, its too much!

I understand that people will do what they feel best is for them, however, when the tv channels feels that we should all be watching the life of others whilst ours go by and forcing this on us then I have an issue.....

I really dont need to pay TV licence  a year to watch other people live their life.... I have neighbours for that  and they are interesting enough without it being filmed.

Pretty soon I wont feel the need for a TV and it may be another useless item in the future!

Until da Next Tymje!

Goodbye and Hello again !!!

Hi there all,

Well my adventure in Sharm el Sheikh has come to an end and I am pleased to say that I had a wonderful time, I met some really cool people and visited some exceptional beautiful places, saw the most amazing sunsets like heaven on earth !

For those who wanted to venture into Egypt, Sharm will be your best place to start, it has such a diversity in culture, and that is mixed with different nations to bring its own unqiue difference.

It is a growing city and in the next few years I see big things happening here, of which I hope I will be a part of ....

Teddy Pendergrass has Died!

Hi All,

Its a sad day again...... only after a few days of the Hiati disaster, we have lost another talented soul.

For the older generation who grew up with the sounds of the legendary TEDDY PENDERGRASS,  will remember him as the ladies man , the regining sex symbol  who had women swooning at his concert.

He was on of the most popular RNB singers  of our time, he passwe daway today at the age of 59 from Colon cancer.

EOnline explains that, Teddy Pendergrass - who's voice has been favorably compared to that of the late Barry White and called "Teddy Bear" - had what his son Teddy, Jr. described as a rough recovery from surgery for colon cancer eight months ago. The music legend and signpost of the Zeitgeist died Wednesday at Bryn Mawr Hospital in Philadelphia, his home town.

Thoughts to his family

Until da Next Tyme !

My Little Heaven on Earth !

Hey there all,

So as you all know I have chilling in sunny Egypt for the last 4 weeks whilst the UK has been suffereing their worse winter yet.... Am I sad that I am not in the UK??...HELL NO !

So whilst I have been here , I have had the pleasure of meeting some really cool people and hanging out at some exceptional cool places.

So to hook y'all up as  I have nothing but love for ya, I am gonna share my secret. If you are ever in Sharm El Sheikh , there is a little place that I discovered called Sharm Sports Cafe  

Image sitting under the stars, with huge flat screens, watching your favourite sports or just chilling with friends. This is  my hanging out in my Egypt.......

I can recommend the food and the atmospshere is FABULOUS! the service is unobtrusive and over all  it is a home away from home whilst you are in sunny Sharm with very friendly people!

You have a wide range of food that you can to either have a snack whilst watching your favourite sport , or if you are feeling that little bit more romantic , you can pop upstairs to the roof terrace and have dinner from the SHARM GRILL HOUSE... I can highly recommend the Mixed grill !

So if you are in Sharm next time and looking for me , you know where I will be.... holla :)

Until da next Tyme !

Haiti Disaster !

Hi all,


Following my last blog ..... I was saddened to hear the following news. So whilst Britain may be sufering some wintery weather at least  many of you have a home to return to that will keep you warm, something which many of the Haitians no longer have that luxury.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – Dazed and injured Haitians sat on darkened streets pleading for help Wednesday and untold numbers were trapped in tons of rubble brought down by the strongest earthquake to hit this poor Caribbean nation in more than 200 years.


Destroyed communications made it impossible to tell the extent of destruction from Tuesday afternoon's 7.0-magnitude tremor — or to estimate the number of dead lying among thousands of collapsed buildings in Haiti's capital of about 2 million people.

The ornate National Palace crumbled into itself, the headquarters of the U.N. peacekeeping mission collapsed and swaths of rickety shacks lay in shambles. Clouds of dust thrown up by falling buildings choked Port-au-Prince for hours.

The United States and other nations began organizing aid efforts, alerting search teams and gathering supplies that will be badly needed in Haiti, the Western Hemisphere's poorest country. The international Red Cross and other aid groups announced plans for major relief operations.

Associated Press journalists found the damage staggering even for a country long accustomed to tragedy and disaster.

Aftershocks rattled the city as women covered in dust clawed out of debris, wailing. Stunned people wandered the streets holding hands. Thousands gathered in public squares long after nightfall, singing hymns.

It was clear tens of thousands lost their homes and many perished in collapsed buildings flimsy and dangerous even under normal conditions.

Until da next tyme !

What is the message ?

Hey there all,

So I am sitting in Egypt watching the worldwide news and all I am hearing is doom and gloom on the weather front.

• Europe is freezing with people dying and losing electricity....
• Australia is suffering heatwave of 34C at night - their hottest for more than 100 years
• Britain is suffering their worse winter for more than 30 years- resources are extremely stretched
• America is suffering wintery weather in normally hot areas...... Texas getting snow???? 

what the hell ?

For now  I am gonna stay cosy up in Egypt until I have to face the madness back home :)


Until da next tyme!

Daily Zen moments!

Hi All,

Do you ever see a statement, saying or wording that just seems applicable to whatever you are experiencing at that time ... be it in your daily routine , day or life.

Well I  wanted to share a few with you ..... I will be definetly adopting a few and chanting to myself!


■Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just leave me the hell alone.
■It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to steal your neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it
■Sex is like air. It's not important unless you aren't getting any.
■Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.
■No one is listening until you fart.
■Always remember you're unique. Just like everyone else.
■If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.
■If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.
■Don't worry; it only seems kinky the first time.
■Duct tape is like the Force. It has a light side and a dark side, and it holds the universe together.
■Generally speaking, you aren't learning much when your lips are moving.
■Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
■Eat a live toad first thing in the morning, and nothing worse can happen to you the rest of the day!
■The most wasted day of all is one in which we have not laughed.

Until da next Tyme !

Hello Peeps ,

7 days in to the new year and I thought of making you all smile... now I know that most people dont have the guts to follow through on certain things as it can be seen as not PC - Politically correct....... however for those that know me I am not one of those people!

First Blog of the year !

Happy New Year all!

I finally get round to sending my wishes to you all, I want to wish you all a prosperous New year and hope that you all achieve what you desire.

I started off my year with smiles and laughter and I intend to to extend this throughout the year.

I know that many people tend to make resolutions that they find hard to keep throughout the year, as it lays alot of pressure on oneself, so my advise to you, is not to make any resolutions to your self.

The term resolution is such a pressured word that the mere mention adds stress to your life.

So for 2010, be you, pamper yourself, dont add too much stress to your life, make small changes if you are not happy with the way that you are , but dont call it a RESOLUTION!.

Until da next tyme!
